Wind-power generation

Wind power generation is a power generation method that uses the power of the wind to rotate a windmill and transmits the rotational motion to a generator to generate electricity. It has high power generation efficiency and can generate electricity day and night, regardless of the weather, as long as the wind speed is above a certain level.
The suitable location is a large area of land where the wind blows stably above a certain level, and the installation location is limited from the viewpoint of the noise generated and the scenery. The introduction of offshore wind power generation, which utilizes not only land but also sea areas, is being promoted worldwide.
